IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The Viterbo University Fine Arts Center’s official and exclusive ticketing partner is OvationTix. Make sure you are buying directly through our website, www.viterbo.edu/fac or OvationTix. We do not use a third-party ticket reseller/vendor. Do not purchase through unauthorized resellers, as we will not be able to guarantee entry. If you are using a search engine to find tickets, be careful. Unauthorized sites with overpriced/counterfeit/invalid tickets are often listed above official ones. If you come across an offer online/on social media for resale tickets, please be extra cautious. If there is a ticket offer–especially from someone you do not know–that seems too good to be true, it is probably fake.
